#kotlc Grizel

[ahoyimlosingmymind]

I just know Grizel cares so much about Fitz.

She's known this boy since he was 14 (?) and she's watching him grow up.

She's hung around him for years, day and night.

She's eavesdropped on his conversations, and she was there for all of the aftermath of Alvar's betrayal.

She watched his world fall out from beneath his feet first hand. She heard the whispers that followed him everywhere he went. She watched his shoulders fall.

She probably watched him bake treats for his friends. She probably watched him cry and grieve. She probably dragged him out of his bed and showed him how to work out to get out of his head. She probably reminds him to eat, and to get some vitamin D. She probably listens to him pace his bedroom well into the night. She probably listens to him talk to Mr. Snuggles when he's really overwhelmed and just needs a friend who won't judge him.

She'd die for this little sad, short-tempered baby who has done nothing wrong ever in his entire life. And her heart aches for him. For the way he can be surrounded by people, but still be so lonely.

She probably knows him better than most people just off of observation alone.

idk man. we never talk about it. and the friendship angst/potential is immaculate.

Will never stop thinking about how Grizel is probably the first and only person who has helped Fitz with learning how to actually deal with his emotions

sandor and grizel are actually one of my favorite canon couples

[frizzle-mcshizzle]

Sandor and Grizel where childhood friends in cannon, and i’m convinced they actually dated before cannon, because that’s what it sounded like in their little act interaction in the books.

i think that Sandor had someone in his family die and they left a spouse and child behind and he didn’t want to hurt Grizel in that way, so he broke up with her to protect her. but Grizel didn’t give up on their relationship for years and that’s why she followed him to the elven gaurd

Im enjoying these dynamic asks :) how about grizel and Ro dynamic? I think they would be an awesome duo if they had more page time. On page 369 of legacy, we see one of the only interactions between them, which is them making jokes about the elves. They seem to get along pretty well, which I think is super interesting since the two species don’t typically get along

Challenge. That's the word that comes to mind for the two of them. They both have a sort of defiance and existence that challenges the world around them, that pushes themselves and the people they're surrounded by; they rise to the occasion and don't take no for an answer, and i think all that would multiply between the two of them.

Grizel with her games, Ro with her pranks. I think it would become a competition between the two of them, but not necessarily a malicious one. But more of a determined, friendly one, as they're basically the same character in different species. They'd feed off of each other, both occupying that role of warrior from a different species stuck in this kinda annoying world (though Grizel's nicer about it) protecting these kids and wrapped up in everything. We can see how that provides a starting point of familiarity between them on page 369. Even though their species don't have a great history!

They are, I think, the best candidates of the characters we know who could start to bridge that gap; both very high ranking, trusted soldiers for their species, and each with the adaptability to learn and form unlikely alliances. Being put in a situation where they're required to maintain decorum could allow them to see that they're not very different at the core of it all.

I agree! I think they'd be an awesome duo defined by their playful natures, confidence, and how they carry themselves. They'd be equal in their dynamic, and it would be very entertaining to see more between them on page. Hopefully we can snag a few more moments of them :)

“For The Dancing And The Dreaming” but it’s Sandor and Grizel

[official-kenralie-fanbase]

Grizel for the ask game

My honest opinion of them: Ooh I love Grizel! She's so spunky and feisty. I wish we got to see more of her interactions with Sophie. She's such a fun character and I wish she was in more; plus, her relationship with Sandor is so adorable. She can make everything fun but also is really tough. In conclusion, I love her.

Who (if anyone) I ship with them: Sandor of course

And what I think will happen with them in the next book(s): She'll remain pretty much a flat character IMO but still be just as amazing. She's going to fight in several battles against the Neverseen, but I highly doubt she'll die. I have this gut feeling that one of the last scenes in the series is going to be a Grizel/Sandor wedding, which would be super cute

Send me any KOTLC character for the ask game!

XD Now I can't get it out of my head. I'm definitely doing this.

someone write a fic where sandor and grizel get married and sophie flower girls

[heartstringgs]

Tam and Linh's relationship is so beautiful. They had only each other since the very beginning, till they met with the Black Swan and even then, their bond is so much stronger than theirs with anyone else. Linh was the only one who was banished but Tam didn't want to live in a world without her by his side and joined her. Tam was said to be very protective of Linh during Exilium, never leaving her side. He only trusted Sophie when she risked herself for helping Linh. Tam was not ready to commit to the Black Swan but the moment Linh volunteered, Tam followed. Tam only joined the Neverseen when Gisela threatened Linh's safety. And when Linh heard the news, she didn't break down but fiercely believed that Tam can survive, that he'll make it out. And yet, the moment Sophie raised the possibility of Linh being able to telepathically communicate with Tam and hear his voice, Linh's eyes welled up with tears, full of hope. After being able to hear Linh telepathically, Tam cried in his room. He only talked with Rayni, because for a split second, when she asked him if he was doing okay, she sounded like Linh. They bicker and fight like any other pair of siblings but their love runs so deep. They're each other's first priority, always and forever more.

need a scene where someone in the friend group brings up Fitz stopping pressing buttons as some sort of justification that supposedly evens the playing field between the brothers

and he's just so stricken by it that he can't even come up with a response

and Biana has had enough and just goes: "No one seems to remember that I was there too. I could have stopped him."

record scratch. silence.

let he defend her brother Shannon. let them be siblings. ride or die. let them understand aspects of each other that no one else ever could. let them let them let them

[siennamakeschaos]

let's make headcaonons

grizel is fitz's bodyguard (well we all knew that). she's also very observant and good at picking up on things. she's helped him breathe through multiple panic attacks and made excuses to get away from people for him.

yeah uh. feel free to add on

[frizzle-mcshizzle]

Hi Frizz page anon here! Sorry for the late response I haven't had any internet access for like a week cause I was at summer camp but I found the page number Sandor kissing Grizel happens off screen and is mentioned on page 462 of the paperback copy of Stellarlune in chapter 29 when Sophie's talking to Edaline and says "Grizel kissed Sandor goodbye today as we were waiting for our turn to use the leapmaster. So now everyone's calling him Sandor Smoochypants or Captain Smoochinator- but wait. Should it be General Smoochinator? What's your rank again?"

thanks page anon! but dang it i was hoping we got some on page Sandle moments
